Campus Safety

The environment is safe.

Clubs and Activities

There's more to the college experience than the classroom! Getting involved in extracurricular activities on HFC campus that allows you to become connected to HFC and discover passions and strengths. They offer a track club, soccer club, and due to the diversity there are numerous clubs that allow you to learn about other cultures.

Great for these types of students

Students from all ages groups who want to discover and enjoy learning from others who are from different backgrounds. The campus is diverse with plenty of opportunities to learn and create friendships.

Food and Dining

Though I have never been to HFC`s Cafe I have heard some good things about it.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms at HFC

Academic Rigor

In my experience for my first semester my professors were available for helping students individually and I felt comfortable asking questions. Students are challenged to think, perform, and grow to a level that they were not at previously meaning that students must work hard.

Tips for prospective students

To all new students fresh out of high school it may take a while to adjust to the rigorous academic demands of college. I encourage you to make academics a high priority beginning with your freshman year.

In three sentences

As a current student, I am enjoying my first semester at Henry Ford College. The academic advisers, financial aid advisers, professors, and all other school employees have been extremely helpful. It is a small but diverse college.

Jumoke from Detroit, MI

there is no greek life on campus at all and i wish that they will incorporate it sometime soon

Great for these types of students

Henry ford is a good school for students who eventually want to succeed in life but just don't know which path to take or high school students to take on dual enrolment to earn college credits early

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The students like to hang out in the cafe/ student center building

What to do for fun

Since henry ford is a community college there isn't really much to do on campus. But in the surrounding im sure one could find some interesting things to get into

Food and Dining

i really hope to see improvement in the food and dining department soon

Dorm Life

they don't have dorms

Tips for prospective students

my tip is to not expect too much from this school in terms of activities more than academics

In three sentences

Henry ford is a very good gateway school to any four year university. Henry ford is very unorganized in the welcome center with the appearance of being the opposite, the staff can be labeled as lazy at times but they come through at the end of the day. I See great potential for this school.

AE from LINCOLN PARK, MI

HFCC offers a wide variety of sports, clubs and other social events that you can attend. HFCC is also close to Fairlane Shopping Mall which can be a fun place to go in between classes.

Food and Dining

The Skylight Cafe is great and has a variety of foods to choose from. They also have a soup and salad bar along with sandwiches, wraps and fryer foods.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms or living arrangements available on the campus of HFCC.

Academic Rigor

Most of the professors at HFCC have high expectations set for the students sitting in their classrooms. Therefore, it is important that you take classes seriously and put forth the effort in order to get good grades. Some classes are easier than others however, for the most part there aren't too many blow off classes.

Tips for prospective students

My first tip is to check, double check and triple check the transfer guidelines if you are planning on transferring out of HFCC. My second tip is to plan on getting to class at least 20 minutes early to allow yourself enough time to find a parking spot. Unfortunately, one negative aspect of HFCC is the parking lot. My third and final tip, is to avoid missing class as much as possible and if for some reason you do have to miss, make sure that you can provide documentation to excuse your absence. HFCC has a very strict attendance policy and the result of not attending class can have a negative effect on your grade.

In three sentences

Henry Ford Community College is a great choice for individuals who are looking for an affordable and student-centered education. Also, HFCC is a great starting point for individuals who wish to transfer to a four year university, however, I highly recommend checking and double checking the transfer guidelines to ensure that the credits earned will transfer. Last, HFCC is a very diverse and multicultural learning environment.

Chelsea from Allen Park, MI

I only ever seen campus safety driving around the parking lot, I rarely see them walking throughout the buildings.

Greek Life

I do not believe there is greek life; this isn't a university.

Clubs and Activities

I have not looked into these.

Great for these types of students

Students who are not sure college is for them or those who cannot afford university tuition. It is also great for those who work full time and want to take just a couple classes at a time.

Bang for the buck

HFCC makes it possible to afford tuition out of pocket and avoid loans without monthly payment plans.

What to do for fun

There are clubs and activities you could join, although I have never looked into it.

Food and Dining

I have only been to the cafeteria a couple times, never ate there.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms at HFCC.

Academic Rigor

As with any community college, some classes are going to push you harder than others. It is easy to get distracted by other students in class who do not want to be there or just like to cause problems. Always speak up if you do not know something and take advantage of the office hours with your professors! They are more helpful than you think, no questin is a dumb question!

Tips for prospective students

Be sure to sign up for your classes early; sciences, math and online classes are the first to fill up. If you are unsure about financial aid, do not be discouraged of the long lines, make sure you talk to someone in the department. There is often extra money out there that you did not know about! If you are hesitant about college or you want to save money while taking prereqs this is the college to attend, can't beat the tution and location.

In three sentences

I try not to stay on campsu longer than I have too. The student body acts more like they are in high school than college. I wish more teachers would act on correcting the way these students act in class. I understand they are adults, but some do not act like it!

MA

The food is very well cooked and delicious. Dining is clean. They try the best they could to keep it clean but its difficult when the cafe is flooded with people leaving and entering.

Dorm Life

Never lived on campus.

Academic Rigor

Mostly all the professors are highly skilled in the subject they teach.

Tips for prospective students

This college is definitely a very well opportunity and a good place to start of whether you are going back to school or just starting off with littke money. Definitely a money saver college compared to a university.

In three sentences

Henry Ford is a well educated environment. Teachers, students and faculty all try to work together to help the students succeed. The people who attend the college are just as helpful when asking for help to get around campus.

always stay on top of your tuition, never give up no matter how tough the class is the professors are always willing to help

In three sentences

henry ford community college is a great college, but they do have there share of problems. there is never any help when the school messes up and over charges one, but it is easy for them to take there money but hard to give back yours if they are in the wrong. other than that they have amazing professors as well as tons of help all over campus for anyone struggling in any of their subjects

Candice from Detroit, MI

Always patrolling campus and are available to you if you call. They have great response time.

Greek Life

No greek life unfortunately.

Clubs and Activities

Has a little of everything

Great for these types of students

For anyone wanting to get into shape, there is dance, yoga, Pilates and weight training available! For someone looking to become a chef, the culinary program is STRONG! For the student who has interest in Art but doesn't want to do the same old boring painting or ceramics class...Ice Sculpting and Cake Decorating classes are offered! This college is great for students of all ages and even has a child care center on the campus for parents!! For the student who doesn't have a car, there are shuttle services that pick up students from the nearby mall.

Bang for the buck

Spring and Summer Semester can be a great way to get core classes in and over with quickly. It is more intense because the classes are accelerated but if you can stay disciplined for the 6-8 weeks, you will save money and time!! I took English and Math and had some great teachers that made sure the class understood the concepts, but it was nice because they didn't have to drag out a chapter for a month like they might have in the Fall or Winter. It's worth it if you can stay focused!! Just do it :-)

What to do for fun

There are always festivals and shows/concerts, round table discussions and groups/teams to join. Please take advantage of them! You might learn something or meet someone that you never expected.

Food and Dining

The food is so so in the student center. Breakfast can be awesome if you catch the right cook, try the pancakes or waffles, french toast sticks are cool too and cheap. Have never eaten in the fancy restaurant.

Dorm Life

We don't have dorms.

Academic Rigor

Honestly, it could be better. This is dependent on many factors; the student mindset, which professors are chosen, and the people in the class(many times, professors plan the semester at a pace that they think will be beneficial to majority of the students). Overall, the rigor can range from so so/average to very good.

Tips for prospective students

Get the most out the experience while saving money on the core classes you need! Use rate my professor to find great teachers! Stay focused on the goal and time will fly by.

In three sentences

The main downfall would be the Welcome Center's staff...rude. Overall, the school is really impressive to be a community college. As long as you choose your professors correctly, your experience can be amazing!

Clubs and Activities

Has many different clubs to join and they are or can be related to your field of study.

Bang for the buck

It is cheap to go to school here compared to any other school or university. This is meant as a two year institution so you do have to transfer after two years or after your third year while doing a 3-in-1. It is $81 per credit hour for a Dearborn resident and about $140 for a non-Dearborn resident per credit hour.

Food and Dining

It is not a five star restaurant but they do have some good food. Fast food, fries, burgers, pizza, soups, chips, cookies, pop, juice, and coffee.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms here.

Academic Rigor

In some sense it is a good learning experience but you do have a bad teacher here and there. Everything you need is usually laid out in front of and explained so failing is pretty hard unless you do nothing the while time your in that classroom.

Tips for prospective students

Get a school ID first from the Welcome Center. Have your high school transcript sent in from your high school because they will ask for it. It is pretty laid back here so just be your self.

In three sentences

Teachers are caring to a point, they want you to pass. They have so many different programs to choose from. It is really cheap to go here about $81 a credit hour for a Dearborn resident and around $150 for a non-Dearborn resident.

Andrea from Allen Park, MI

There are a ton of clubs and activities, especially if you are looking for more community service activities

Great for these types of students

Students that need to save a little money before going away to school/ need to boost their GPA.

Bang for the buck

I learned a lot and saved my self a lot of money by going to this school to earn my general education credits, plus it really helped my GPA.

What to do for fun

There really isn't a lot to do on campus unless it's welcome back week or something along those lines; but the school is right across the street from a mall and movie theater and down the street from beautiful downtown Dearborn, which has shops and restaurants and a lot more.

Food and Dining

The food in the restaurant is really good and made by the culinary arts students. The Student Center food is okay but a little over priced.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms.

Academic Rigor

Henry Ford is a bit like high school in terms of academics, though it is a little more demanding.

Tips for prospective students

Do your research on credit transfer and take only the classes you need! Do not get side track or take a lot of pointless classes. They may be cheaper at Henry Ford but most of the time they are not worth wasting time and money. Get in and earn your general education credits and get out!

In three sentences

Henry Ford is a great stepping stone for a student who isn't quite ready to leave home to go to school; whether for money reasons or personal reasons. Most of the teachers are supportive and are a great help when it comes to getting you ready for transferring, but the same can not be said for most of the guidance councilors; who generally have no idea what they are talking about. Henry Ford is considered to be one of the best community colleges in the country because the credits transfer so well to other colleges and universitys.

Academic Rigor

The more time you put in the better the outcome. For every one credit you have to study two hours @ home. If you are taking a three credit class that is six hours a week that you are reviewing completing homework and studying.

Tips for prospective students

Its okay to take it one steurp at a time. Do not feel rushed to complete your degree as soon as possible. Enjoy the ride!

In three sentences

I have been attending Henry Ford Community College to pursue my nursing degree. I believe the faculty is very superb. I am proud to be a student @ HFCC

Henry Ford is an excellent school with helpful and knowledgeable teachers. I have enjoyed the last 3 years I have spent there and look forward to the next 2 years I will spend in the nursing program. I expect to graduate with my RN in December 2013.

Renato from Detroit, MI

Campus is safe in my opinion because there many security personnel all the time, even at night to ensure people are safe at all time.

What to do for fun

For fun, I go to the library and read new books and do homework. I also get help at the Learning Lab and I also get help from some of the tutors.

Food and Dining

The food at the Skylight Cafe is good, but they could have more varieties of foods. For the most part, the food is decent.

Dorm Life

Henry Ford Community College doesn't have dorms.

Academic Rigor

The instructors do their best to teach material well, but at the same time give assignment to present challenges to get student to critical think about finding a solution. They do a good job of getting student to get through challenges and not to be scared of them.

Tips for prospective students

If you are majoring in anything, these college would be a great place to start your prerequisites here and then transfer to a university to finish your major.

In three sentences

Henry Ford Community College is a great college because the class sizes are small and not enormous like big lecture halls. The instructors teach the material well and are friendly to get along with.

Robert from Grosse Ile, MI

Very safe campus! There are campus safety personal walking around every where you go, so you can always feel safe!

Clubs and Activities

There are clubs and activities for nearly everything you can think of! I was part of a Human Rights, Astronomy, Computer Security, and a Honors Society all at once! So diverse!

Great for these types of students

Everyone and everybody!

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

There are a lot of mythological card games being played in the back corner of the Cafe. I have never been into the whole Yu-Gi-Oh card game, but it seems that they have a lot of fun!

Bang for the buck

Very cheap and very worth it. The education I received is one that money can't buy, but what I did have to pay was very worth it. There is no point to spending three times the cost just to go to a four-year college right off the bat!

What to do for fun

Sports, clubs, you name it! I was a part of five different clubs at one point in a semester, and it was extremely fun!

Food and Dining

The Fifty-One restaurant is high class and very affordable! Everything that was cooked was cooked by students within the culinary program, and it was amazing! There is also a very affordable Cafe right next to it!

Dorm Life

There are no dorms at Henry Ford Community College.

Academic Rigor

As a freshman, getting into the college lifestyle was challenging. Over time, Henry Ford Community College adjusted me to understand the system and how college works. So, I am more prepared to conquer a four year university by going to this college.

Tips for prospective students

Get help through the many resources available from the college. As a student tutor within the college's Learning Lab, I was able to help many students whom were having trouble with writing long essays. Make use of the many resources they give to you.

In three sentences

Henry Ford Community College is a great establishment for those whom are returning students, or straight out of high school students. Small classes and helpful teachers makes learning such an easy passive trait here. There are also many secondary education possibilities, as well as a helpful staff, to get you to where you want to be.

Campus Safety

Henry Ford Community College is a very safe environment. There is a campus safety building located on campus and also tons of emergency stations located through out the campus. The security guards are very professional and take there job very serious.

Greek Life

There is a Greek Life that exist on campus, however it is no where near as big as ones at 4 year universities.

Bang for the buck

I am saving a lot of money by taking the classes that I needed to transfer in as a junior at a 4 year university at a community college.

What to do for fun

There are tons of sports teams and clubs that you can join at Henry Ford Community College. The Fine Arts department offers plays every semester that students can audition for and also dance teams.

Food and Dining

The Cafe is delicious at Henry Ford Community College. I personally enjoy going to the cafe during the breakfast hours. There is also a nice restaurant on campus that many of the culinary art students work at.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms at Henry Ford Community College. However, the college is located near many apartments that have student discounts.

Academic Rigor

The academic rigor does not exist in my opinion. As long as you show up and do your best you will pass the classes. The main part is that you show up.

Tips for prospective students

One major tip for prospective students is deciding where you want to further your education after Henry Ford Community College. Many 4 year universities have online classes that they will accept from community colleges. There is no point of taking classes that will not transfer. In addition, there is no point of attending and not receiving you associate's degree.

In three sentences

Henry Ford Community college is a great school for both recent high school graduates and adults. I personally did not do well at a 4 year university after graduating. However, I took a step down and now I am completing my associates.

Ali from Dearborn Heights, MI

Great school, great professors, and an overall great environment to study.

Food and Dining

I love it. I've only gone there for two semesters over a year ago but I love the teachers. I'm currently enrolling in the Fall 2012 semester to finish my degree

Dorm Life

One of the best community college's in Michigan. Excellent programs, student diversity, teachers are very knowledgeable and devoted to students success. Great learning atmosphere.

Academic Rigor

Overall it is a pretty good college. Nursing waitlist is way too long, Financial Aid is terrible! they are slow and do not respond to emails. parking is not good at all.

Tips for prospective students

This is the best community college ! The classes push you and make you feel as your already attending a university. The teachers are great I haven't had one bad one yet and I have been there a year attending year round.

In three sentences

At HFCC, most of the instructors are very invested in student success and will work with you to help you excel. But the courses are not cake courses like those at WCCC. You will have to work diligently, but you will learn enough to pass state boards and be well qualified for entry level positions. HFCC transfer students perform better at Wayne State, University of MIchigan-Dearborn, and Easter than native students who spent their entire career at the university. If you are bright and have a 3.5 or higher in high school, check out the Honors Program. This program is challenging in nature and prepares you to earn a four-year scholarship. Tuition is also free. Don't wait until the last moment to enroll. If you enroll at least a month before the deadline, you won't spend endless hours in line and you will be able to work with counselors to select the right classes.

Cassandra from Detroit, MI

Campus Safety is every where, they constantly check all the buildings and drive around in the parking lots. I feel safe when I am at school walking from class to class no matter what time it is.

Greek Life

Alpha Xi Mu is our greek life but we are a subchapter of Phi Theta Kappa National Honor Society. It is something that will help you go further in life and the world.

Clubs and Activities

I am in Phi Theta Kappa. The National Honor Society for 2 yr-colleges. There are a variety of clubs and activities this campus is very lively.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The cafeteria is one of the hot spots for fun, music, and general conversation.

Bang for the buck

This is a very inexpensive college. The tution is low especially if you live in the same city.

What to do for fun

Honestly, if i'm not at school I'm at home studying either with a friend or with my children.

Food and Dining

They have a restaurant that the students are the chef's. They have a nice friendly cafeteria with different variety's of food. Plus, there is a lot of vending machines throughout the campus.

Dorm Life

I don't live on campus so I don't know what it is like.

Academic Rigor

Academically they will help you get to college standing in any subject. If you are only in middle school math they can bring you up to speed for your degree.

Tips for prospective students

If you have a disability this college will help you get everything together and assist in what to need to graduate. It is not expensive to go to, as well as a friendly environment.

In three sentences

Henry Ford has some of the best tutors for all types of classes. The Assisted Learning Services are amazing, they are very helpful. I would rate this college from 1-10 a strong 9, because some of the professors should get better etiquette on how to talk to a student.

Dorm Life

There are no dorms on this campus.

The lessons are not rushed and are very easy to comprehend. Although some classes are challenging, the professor still offers all the help they can. Each class moves at a slow pace to make sure that the students understand what has been taught.

In three sentences

Henry Ford Community College is a very nice school that is easy to get from building to building. The cafeteria is wonderful and there are many people to help you enroll, transfer or gather financial aid, If there was any community college you were thinking about attending, I would suggest Henry Ford Community College!

Marjola from Dearborn Heights, MI

HFCC is not a big university therefore, you go in to your classes and leave as soon as you are done. Most students don't hang out and have fun around campus.

Dorm Life

No dorms.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure to always keep up with your financial aid because you might be dropped from classes if money is owed.

In three sentences

Henry Ford Community College is a great school for any transferring students. The school offers free help for any student who needs tutoring in most subjects that are offered. The classes are fairly small in size and easy to contact your professor when needed.

Food and Dining

The food is great, and if you can't find something you like there are many restaurants near by.

Dorm Life

This is a commuter school, however it does offer tons of student activities!

Academic Rigor

Just because it is a community college, does not mean that the classes are easier. Students are expected to perform at a level equal to other higher education institutions.

Tips for prospective students

I suggest that any new student take time to get to know the campus, as well as sit down with an advisor.

In three sentences

Henry Ford CC has done alot lately to make it more student friendly. The new Welcome Center now houses most student services in one building. The teachers are dedicated professionals, who are focused on the well being of their students.

Marisa from Dearborn Heights, MI

One of the clubs that I am aware of is the Criminal Justice club and you get to do a lot of fun things!

Food and Dining

A very clean enviornment as well as not worrying about who is going to stare at you while you eat.

Dorm Life

Henry Ford Community College doesn't have a dorm room.

Academic Rigor

Help is always there when you need it so dont worry about being the student feeling left out or ashamed if you dont know a answer. Peers are always willing to help you succeed. Make communication be your number one priority.

Tips for prospective students

Look forward to completing your career with no worries or struggles. Always stay with a positive attitude and make sure you keep god first and anything is possible. Look forward to keeping your alarm as your best friend. Remember To be early is to be on time.

In three sentences

Everyone is friendly and conversation is well among the teaching standards. Your career will be fufilled as long as you keep your head in the game. However, there will be some hard challenges that you'll have to over come.

Danielle from Garden City, MI

As far as I have seen the campus is safe. They have emergency phones throughout, security walking around, and safe walk, where you can have a security personnel walk you to your car.

Clubs and Activities

There are various clubs and activities to involve yourself in. They are very hard to get a hold of though.

Great for these types of students

If you are hear to learn, are serious about getting a good experience, in pursuit of an associates or a trade it's well worth it! If you want the college experience, look elsewhere.

Bang for the buck

The teachers are absolutely worth what you pay and then some.

What to do for fun

Not much going on on campus that i'm aware of. There are a few different clubs you can be involved in. I find it very difficult to get a hold of any of them... Lots of restaurants and some bars in the area, and downtown dearborn is very close.

Food and Dining

The food in the cafe at HFCC is lacking. Mostly fried stuff or junk food. They do have a salad bar and some soups, but there is very little variety.

Dorm Life

There are no dorm's that I know of.

Academic Rigor

I find many of my classmates are sticklers of good grades! There is an overall want to succeed, and the teachers I have had WANT the students to do the best possible. It's a nice combination.

Tips for prospective students

If you can have someone who has gone here previously help you to get your bearings that would be a plus. The financial aid office is fairly helpful but chaotic. I've found that most places on campus the staff are unfriendly and a sense of entitlement surrounds them. It can be hard to find answers to questions without having to talk to 10 different staff.

In three sentences

Hfcc has a nice campus for a community college. All the buildings are relatively close together, and there is an opportunity for a beautiful scenic walk by taking the hines drive path which is connected to hfcc and u of m dearborn. The teachers that I have encountered are wonderful, helpful, and caring. The staff at the school leaves something to be admired however.

Jasmine from Detroit, MI

The campus is pretty safe and well lit. If something is going on or seems suspicious, the school will alert students. Also, campus safety will walk you to your car if you want them to.

Great for these types of students

Henry Ford has a lot of programs. It's a great school for: -Nursing & Other Health Related Careers -Computer Information Systems & Other Computer Related Careers -Graphic Design & Art Related Careers There are many more, but these are a few I know about.

Bang for the buck

This school saved me a lot of money. Tuition is very cheap here and if you live in Dearborn, it's even cheaper.

What to do for fun

If you have lots of time to burn between classes or after class, go to the mall. If you don't have a vehicle or just don't feel like driving, catch the campus shuttle. It's free!

Food and Dining

The school has food that is okay (and kind of expensive). But you can always catch the campus shuttle to the mall and get something good to eat. Because of the mall option, I give it 5 stars. Otherwise, as far as the school's food, I give it 3 stars.

Dorm Life

This school doesn't have a dorm.

Academic Rigor

Talk to a counselor about your academic status at least once each school year to help keep up with your progress. They will give you the information you need to know about your major.

Tips for prospective students

Always attend classes (unless your sick or there's something important you need to do of course!). Henry Ford is very strict on attendance. Some teachers will even give points for attendance, which can help your grade. So don't skip classes for no reason.

In three sentences

Overall, Henry Ford Community College is a great school. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to gain a great education for a reasonable price.

Kayla from Allen Park, MI

Henry Ford Community College is located in a safe well lite area. There are security on campus at all times in the parking lot and in the buildings themselves.

Henry Ford has a wonderful on campus restaurant ran by professionals as well as our very own student body. You will leave thinking you left a 5 star restaurant with only 2 star prices. Its an amazing place for a dining experience you wont forget.

Dorm Life

Henry Ford Community College does not offer on campus living, although there are many affordable off campus apartments and homes for rent within a 10 mile radius from the school making it ideal for full and part time students.

Academic Rigor

They have a wide variety of different programs and courses which makes it idea for a working student who is unsure of which program they would like to earn a degree in.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you are well prepared to work hard and study even harder. Just because Henry Ford is a community college doesn't mean you won't be working just as hard as a well known university.

In three sentences

Henry Ford Community college is a very diverse school with many different ethnicities. I believe it is a wonderful learning experience because there are so many different cultures bringing their own experiences and life lessons to the classroom. It is also very affordable for those who are short on funds.

Anonymous

The food in the cafeteria is great. There is an ideal variety of healthy, nutritious, and tasty meals and treats to choose from. Staff is always friendly and helpful, but it seems a little expensive.

Dorm Life

To my understanding there are no dorms.

In three sentences

I believe Henry Ford Community College is very dedicated to helping the student body develop a successful educational path. Professors, faculty, and staff go above and beyond to create a professional, yet comfortable experience. Everyone is respectful and courteous.

HFCC is overall a great school to attend. The professors are very helpful when it comes to getting the information you need as a student. I would say that HFCC is one of the best community colleges in Michigan.

Tips for prospective students

I would be looking for as many grants, loans, and scholarships that would help me pay for all of my classes and my supplies that will be needed for all of my classes. I also would be getting money from the covernment that would be very helpful for me finishing college. The last thing that I'm planning to do is get a part time job on campus and try to budget all of my money that I will be receiving from my job and my family members throughout the United States of America.

Will enjoy being here

I will enjoy it so much there at Henry Ford Community College starting this fall. I would also enjoy being around some new friends that I have not ever met before in my life. I also would enjoy spending time with the new staff members and councelors because they would always be helpful to me when I need any help with anything at that college.

Will learn a lot

Yes I will learn a lot. I also would keep up with my studying at home with a member of my family. Every semester at this college, I want to learn something new that I never knew before I went to that college. Another thing I want to do is keep getting as much help with my assignments from my family and from some of the tutors at the college. I would also be following the curriculum that my advisor would be giving to me when I start tanking classes there to get my Associates Degree in Interior Design.The last and final thing I hope to do is pass all of the classes that I take with a 3.0 or higher. I also want to be called one of the students with a G.P.A. of 3.5 or higher. That are the reasons why I will be learning alot at Henry Ford Community College.
